sequence of the salutary reforms intoduced by the SULTAN. A trait of British' generosity, highly honourable to Vice-Admiral Sir H. NEALE and the brale tars of the Revenge, is recorded in the same article :--- • 111UNICII,„ AUG.. 19. • - One of the g reatest difficulties in mechanics, and which Will but imperfectly overcome, though great rewards were offered both by England and France, was to contrive a means of spinning flax like cotton. , This problem has now been happily solved by M. Hofer, of Meron, in the Tyrol, who having matured his ideas, came to Munich and employed an able mechanician, Mr. Ertl, to make a ma chine according to his .directions. In this he has fully succeeded, and Mr. Hofer. has obtained a patent from Ins Maiewery the King of Bavaria, and will sohcit patents also from Austria and Prussia. SMYRNA, AUG. 14. The greater part of the measures adopted in Con stantinople, for the free sale of the necessaries of life, has already been put in force at Smyrna.— Meat is reduced from 36 parse to 28; Bread from 26 to 18 ; Oil from 65 to 40 ; Soap from 60 to 40. The nipleions dealers are the only persons • who have a mild to. complain if they dared ; the remainder of the inhabitants bless the paternal care of the Sultan, as well as the attention to public tranquillity shown by the Pacha of Smyrna, who is daily seen in a disguise going through the streets of the city, to observe with his own eyes whether his orders are 'obeyed, and whether new plots are contriving in the dark. Commodore Hamilton had brought a letter of recom mendation from Canaris for an unfortunate woman, whose %on was a slave at Smyrna. Being obliged to go to Athens with Lady Neale, he recommended this business to Vice- Admiral Sir Harry Neale, who immediately opened a subscription 011 board the Revenge. In less than an hour he had the pleasure of handing to the mother the sum asked by the muster- of the slave for his ransom.—The plague rages on the coast of Syria. The Gazette of last night, contains a notice for Mine off on the 26th of September, the Exchequer } lilts dated in the months of July, August, and September 1825, viz 5 8 Geo. 111, cap. 45, for building additional Churefies ; 8 'Geo.

Pence per diem to be issued instead. if it were now for the first time a question, whether 16 system of Pilotage in force by authority of Par liament in this country, *as in. its origin legal we qiuuld say (as we believe every one would say, setting ''Vide the long continued usage),. that it was not. We 'hould say, that the granting of the privilege to navi gate and steer another's ship, by the former kings of England, was in point of fact a usurpation and an in flingSolent upon the rights and prerogatives of Eng ti erchants.How far tho introduction of this sys -71/4as.for the benefit of the country, and for the 14 :ett of the lives of sailors of all descriptions, is another lquesiion ; (a question too, we can hardly in these later tiloei discuss) but which we still may venture to say, would be answered 'in the affirmative, if enquiry was .. " 11 4$ into the exlmt ) t,,An4 clept4, and generality of Ills knowledge our mariners in those times had ae tluited, not only of the principles of Navigation, 1 )4 also of the exact state of the channels of the trtglish seas and the rivers running into them, as to shoals, quicksands, and sunken rocks. It is, how tiger, indisputably clear, that the knowledge of the art °I • navigation and the peculiarities of our own seas are cow fro widely extended, as to leave the public but littl e to apprehend on the score of loss of property or h vas; if masters of vessels were permitted to navigate their own ships, or had left them an option as to the tl illtioyment of pilots or not, according as their own 4 iocretion mi g ht p o i n t ou t. Such option, however, is NA left them, but Ship-owners are compellable to take plots on board without any reference to the skill of the comm an d er , w hi c h most common ly e xceeds that of the pilot. .Favours, even when beneficial, are most un g ra ciously received, if forced upon us, and they altogether cease to be favours if their advantages are questioned or denied. This seems to us to be the exact state of the question between the pilots and the Ship °, "nera, who now regard the compulsion to take pilots on 'ward a s an additional and useless impost upon trade ; enhancing greatly the cost of equipment, '(if pilotage le aJ . be ter me d a portion of it),' and unattended with 4 S illgle a d vantage either to them, or the Merchant, ore P ubl i c. th ~.. c. W e d o not mean to say t h at t h e Parlia mentary pilotage fees are extravagantly high ; we do hot mean to quarrel with . the Act in this respect or with the system; we are only desirous that it be left to • tile discretion of th e h us b and of the ship's, aided by the judgm ent o f t h e master, to determine whether the assistance of a Pilot is necessary ; and it' not that they - , be pe r mitt e d to s a d without one. rln short, that the . compulsion to tak e .

It licen se d pilot be employed on every occasion !here the owner and master think it expedient to call 1 "' the assistance of any pilot at all. It is not by any ill eatts, here intended to insinuate that the pilot sys. IN in force in England, is altogether useless ; F ar irolo it, we know that 'in many eases, it is eminently 4rriceable, and that much property, and many valu nle, lives, have been saved from ..destruction by its eitus; but we still think , that in . the majority of p?itish s hi ps, that tra d e w i t h th e ports, su b ject to t h e lot Act, t h e respec tive masters would. b e f oun d f u lly 1 1! competent to steer their own vessels up and down n _. , ,e river, Thames: and M e d way ,- .and in_ the. English iittonel, as any licence& pilot, .either of-.th e Trinity' tn 'use or the Cinque ports.: -The Compulsion' too, h t ilke on b oar d a p il o tovai certainly intend e d as a 4 11 efit to the ship owner, and it . is, therefore, some , kgvat anomalotis, when we see a man obliged to receive a th 9or . vvliether e re • he will or not ; and; what is worse, that c pawn. of it is followed, by theinflicti9n of It heavy mu t . The first , . afth C row stattit• that at all legalized the usurpations ~, e k.ro vn i n - respect of Pilots, was the 3d Geo. I. I -1) 13, and , this '• to ry c _, related solely to that body which . are 1 til a ,, 41 ,;ted Cinque Port mtg. Since that time, b ut (L'ertreter statutes have been. passed on this sullect, there clues itut appear any pudic general Act which effects every Port of - the United Kingdom. The 6th Geo. IV. cap. 125, is a consolidation' of the sta tutory provisions relating to the Pilots belonging to the respective establishments of the Trinity House of Deptford andlthe Cinque Ports, whilst the Pilots of the Trinity House- of Hull are subject to the provi sions of the 39th and 40th Geo. HI. cap. 10, and those of Liverpool to the 37th Geo. 111. cap. 78. All these Acts are, strictly speaking, Local Acts, and the two latter are accordingly ranged in this class, but the first has the force and effect of a pnblic general Act. Besides th e s e A c t s , it is possible that others exist for regulating Pilots attached to other British Ports, as those of Bristol, Plymouth, Falmouth, &c. The Act of the 6th Geo. IV., c. 125, recites in its preamble, that " whereas the master wardens and as sistants of the guild fraternity or brotherhood of the most glorious and undivided Trinity, have, as well by usage for more than three centuries, as by grants of the Crown, been empowered to appoint pilots, &c. to conduct ships and vessels into, and' out of, and upon the river of Thames, through the Mith Channel, to or by Orfordness, and round the long . Sand-head ; or through the Queen's Channel, the South channel or other channels, into the Downs ; and from or by afordness, and up the North Channel, and up the rivers Thames and Medtvay ;" which shows the ex tent of the authority of the Trinity House of Deptford and Warden of the Cinque Ports, and that the same, in its origin, was a meriusturtion, founded on con venience and the humane notion of preventing loss of life and property, by unskilful hands conducting vessels through the intricate channels of the English seas. This preamble, Moreover, is a copy from that of the first Act which passed on the subject, and thus demonstrates, that before. and ~u p to that time the rights of the pilots existed by prescription only. The absence of' any statute regulating pilots in general, and the circum stance that even their prescriptive rights attach only to particular ports, would almost lead us to conclude, that little public advantage is to be gained by this institu tion ; for, if the employment of pilots is necessary to conduct ships and vessels into, and out of, the rivers Thames And Medway, and along the English chan nels, it should seem equally necessary that all the ports of Devonshire' and Cornwall, as also those of Hamp shire, and those of the more eastern and northern parts of the Island of Great Britain, should have pilots at tached to them; for the access to them is no less intri cate and dangerous than that to the mouths of the Thames and Medway, to which, and the ports coif nected with or near adjoining them, it should seem that the rights of the pilots of the Trinity House of Deptford and the Cinque Ports are confined. Independently too of the limited extent of the rights of the pilots, there are many vessels which t ore not liable to take pilots onboard. Such as all colliers, also ships trading to Nortvay, the Cattegat, or the Baltic, or' round the North Cape into the White Sea ; also all constant traders Inwards* from the ports between Boulogne and the Baltic, on condition that they be registered, and come up by the North Channel ,• also Irish vessels navigating the Thames and Medway, all coasters and also stone-laden vessels from Guernsey, Jersey, &c.; and generally all British vessels tinder 60 tons burden, and all vessels within the limits of their port, not under special regulations by private Act or Charter ; and the master or mate of any ship of which lie is owner or part owner, who resides at Dover, Deal, or the Isle of Thanet, may also pilot his own ship up or down the Thames and Medway, or into or out of any port or place within the jurisdic diction of trio — Cinque'Ports. 'Pie pilots belonging to the Trinity House. of Deptford, act under a licence granted by the Corpo ration of that Trinity House, and those of the Cinque Ports under a licence granted by the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and Constable of Dover Castle, and after examination into the ability and knowledge of the candidate to perform the office to which lie aspires. Without meaning to impute any charge of negligence or ignorance to either of these bodies, we stiti must express a wish that the examination was somewhat severer, and the necessary portion of nautical skill a little higher rated than at present ; for it not only very frequently happens that the commanders of ships, (and especially those in the service of the East India Company) resign the conduct of their vessels into ' hands who are not half as well qualified to steer them through the mazes of the river, or the intricacies of the channel as themselves; but also, that ships have been, by the ignorance of the li censed pilot, placed in such critical situations, that no thing but the instant application of the commander's nautical skill has saved them from wreck or being stranded. As things now stand, commanders can place no confidence in the pilot ; and so farfroin being assistants, they become only the means by which many dangers are risked, which, had the pilots been 'absent, would not have been incurred. The establishment of a' system of pilotage is undoubtedly useful, if the pilot could be wholly and entirely depended upon ; but we appeal to the commanders of any vessels (and espe cially those of the East India Company), whether they do place that implicit confidence in the skill and know ledge of the pilot which leaves them without apprehen haif left to the pilot alone, th e vesse l wou ld reac h testiti;ation without some accident.' We should therefore desire a greater degree of vigilance on the part of those whose duty it is to licence the Trinity House and Cinque Port Pilots, and moreover thi n k it not 'unreasonable to beg them to require a greater 'knowledge in the art of navigation, and generally a larger portion of nautical skill, than is now commonly found 'Wan average Pilot of the above establishments. • A question has arisen at one of the police-offices, whether this word is used in the Act as a word of limitation, or a word of description. In the first sense the exception is only operative when the vessel is proceeding inwards ; in the second and con:t mon sense acceptation it would cover both inward and outward voyages. The first, however, is held by the ATTORNEY-GINNIE -I.AL and the Police-office in question. found an article from----'''---- f In a p rece di ng column w ill b e the Morning Herald, respecting the e xclusion of its Repo rter f rom Marlborough-street P o li ce -o ffi ce, with out any reason having been assigned by Mr. It "' the excluding Magistrate, for such arbitrary Without kn ow i ng the merits of the case, we can on l y 1 argue upon gener a l principles, ant i ask whether the Magistrate h as t h e right of excluding oae conduct. Reporter and admitting another .? If he has this privilege, the sooner he is deprived of it the better, both for the ease of ,his own conscience and, the interests of the Public. But we deny that any Magistrate in a Polic e office has the power of excluding Reporters. What are Police offices instituted for but the public benefit, and if for the public benefit, what right has any Ma gistrate to pervert them to his own use ? That the I public derive th e g reatest b ene fits frornthe publication of proceedings at the Police offices no wise man can doubt, but if those who report these proceedings are subject to exclusion at the frivolous caprice of a Magis trate, the Public are seriously injured and even insulted by their own servant. Whatever concerns the Public should be established on the broad basis of utility and clearly defined pririCiples, and not left to the variable discretion of every Justice, some of whom will not fail to interpret matters relating to self in a very singular manner. The Reporter in question may have done Mr. ROE a private injury —and if so, the Magistrate has his remedy like any other individual; but the laws were not made for Mr. Roes applying them in his own case, without the intervention of less disinterested parties. If the reporter has misconducted himself let the charge be fairly and openly stated, but let not the Magistrate, taking advantage of his judicial situation, overstep the bounds of his duty by unconstitutional acts. We much regret having had of late so fre quent cause of animadverting upon the crazy conduct of those who from thei r public situations, ought to set a sober and discreet example to others. But power is an intoxicating draught for light heads—more po tent in proportion to thew weakness--and more danger ous in its effects to the public, the oftener they unfor tunately come in contact with its possessor. It ap pears that in the present instance two of the Magis trates at Marlborough-street expressed their ignorance of the order for exclusion, and saw n o objection to a re-admission, but would not interfere, merely in compli ment to the other Magistrate. Why, could they not take cognizance of the matter, if it deserved investiga tion ? Surely Mr. Rote is not above the laws, and can have no proper objection to a discussion of the merits of the case. Magistrates ought to let well enough alone," lest by over-jockeyslu, exer eisiii the power repo se d i n t h em , t h e Legislature, in being called upon to limit their excess, restrict them in much of what they at present enjoy.

The speculations in the Foreign Minds have been nearly confined to Mexican Bonds, which were 491 at the close of yesterday, and opened at 51 4 this morning ; they advanced to 524, and fell to 501 ; they are now 51.

Bottibill's statement that some time wince he met the prisoner in Tottenham Court-rood, and thi p iq ug her . . a young country girl he made importunities to her, and she agreed to accompany him home, and remained with him till morning. He got up at six o'clock to let her out, and after she had been gone about half an hour he missed his watch, &c. This morning he saw her in Newgate street, and gave her into the custody of an officer, to whom she confessed taking the watch, and pledg ing it, and giving the duplicate to her sweetheart. The prisoner, in an artless manner, said that the gentleman in duced her to go home with him, saying he would give her a sove reign, but he did not. She was about to state further, but was stopped by the Alderman, who said, that as the offence was committed in the county, the case must go before a County Ma gistrate.—The parties then left the office. BOW-STREET—(Txts DAY.) Samuel Trott, a tailor, residing in the vicinity of Hatton- Garden, was brought up on a charge of felony. The prosecutrir, who, is a servant-maid, stated that she became acquainted with the prisoner about a week ago, from his having accosted her in the street ; she met him on Monday evening as she was going with the making of a gown to a milliner's, he very gallantly asked to carry her bundle, and after walking a short distance he gave her the slip, and she did not see him or his bundle until he was apprehended yesterday evening. He informed her that he was a gentleman; while iu her company he called at a gentle • man's house in Lincoln's-inn-fields, and told her that he was courting the lady of the house. It was at that house that she found out his address. The master of the prosecutriz Minded, and gave her a good character : he said that she hid come to his service from the country, and was easily imposed upon : he had been informed that the prisoner was in the habit of deceiving females, and had succeeded in imposing on five girls before the present. The prisoner made out a very plausible defence, which showed that he was by no means a novice at the trade. He stated that when he had left the prosecutrix, it was only for the pur pose of indulging in a call of nature ; and being affected in a certain way, he delayed about a quarter of an hour. After he had returned, he could not tiud the girl. He went in search of her next day, and paraded before her master's door, but he could not see her, and he did not wish to call. 111 r. Masotti. appeared as solicitor ou his behalf, and sub mitted that there was not sufficient evidence to lead to a conviction. The bundle, which the prisoner on being apprehended gave up to the officer, was now opened, it contained an old gown, and the making of the new one cut up. The prisoner stated, that his sister had cut it according to the old one, and was about to make it for the prosecutrix, at his request. The prosecutrix seemed quite alarmed on seeing it cut up, and said that it was evidently for the use of his own sister. After some ajtercation, in which the mother of the prisoner took a share, Mr. Minehull severely reprimanded the prisoner for his evil habits in decoying girls, and said that he would commit him for trial if the prosecutrix insisted on it. This, however, she de clined to do, and the prisoner was discharged. H.kTTON-GARDEN.-(THI. DAY.) Ak.rander Curtis, a desperate looking fellow, was brought up to answer to a charge of assault. From the testimony of a watchman named Longley, it appeared that between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, the prisoner was found lying in Exmouth-street, exposed to the danger of being run over by any passing vehicle. On being roused, he recovered his feet, and politely asked why he was disturbed? then without waiting for an answer, struck the complainant two violent blows, right and left, with the force of which he fell ; and the back of his head coming in contact with a stone, received cons►derable injury. A patrol accidently being near, prevented further injury to the witness, but received some damage himself. The prisoner was ordered to find bail for the assault, in default of which he was locked up. Frederick Smith, an elderly man, was brought before the Sitting Magistrate. John Watson, a watchman of Saffron-hill, said, that about one o'clock this morning he was disturbed , on his beat by cries of " murder" issuing from a house of an indifferent character in West .Smithfield. With assistance he entered the house, and found the prisoner dealing out a succession of heavy blows on the persons of two very young girls, from whom the screams had emanated. They begged his protection, and he took the prisoner into custody, who then commenced a violent attack on him, and threatened him with the vengeance of the law, as he was a po lice-officer, and could not think of being handled by common watchmen. In his defence the prisoner said, that he was, a private teacher, and was not aware of any of the circumstances now placed to his account. Mr. Roottun said, that he might have Lad wore gallantry, though a private teacher, tiu►a to give a pt►blic Infant an pugtliea► to two young girl*, at one o'clock in the morning, in ouch neighbourhood. Ilia behaviour had been of the grotwett tleacrip. Lion, and he ►nust find bail. QUEEN-BQUARE.--(Tnts DAY). James Nuttall, who 'stated himself to have cume frwu 111.in &ester about six weeks since, was brought up from the watch house, charged as a vagrant. Thomas Walker, a constable, said, that about eight o'clock last night, while going along Ebury-street, Pimlico, he saw the pri• sonar jump into the melt of an unfinished house ; he watched some time, but finding the prisoner did not come out again, he sent to the watch-house for assistance, and, on going into the premises, they found him lying down on some straw. The prisoner said that he had not a friend in the world, and Manchester was such a distressed place, that he could not get employment there. He was committed to the House of Correc tion as a rogue and vagabond. THZ ROUBIRY AT VIZ Bituttswtcx HOTlL.—James Miles, a chimney-sweep, who has been some time in custody, charged with another man, not yet apprehended, with a robbery in the house of the proprietor of the Brunswick Hotel, underwent a final examination. The waiter deposed that he let the prisoner and another per son into his master's house, between five and six o'clock on the morning of the 4th instant. A sweep, named Chandler, who had been charged with the prisoner, m the robbery, was now admitted au evidence against him. His staterlent went to prove, that after the prisoner and another man came out of Mr. Blake's house, with a sack of dust, as he considered, he carried it home, to Duck-lane, and soon after discovered that two bundles of wearing apparel, were taken out of it. The prisoner was fully committed. Information was given this morning at the above office, that the garden of Peterborough House, near Parsons Green, had been tabbed on Monday evening last. The Magistrate ordered the officer, Warren, who mentioned the circumstance, to use all dili gence in apprehending the offenders. MAIILBOROUGH.STREET.—(Tiais DAY.) William James was charged by two decent-looking women, with having assaulted one of them, Mrs. Rockland, and called both of them such MUM as must be nameless. Ile stated in de fence that he was called a tailor, and pushed front the pavement. Mr. Dvaa severely lectured the prisoner, and fined him As. for being drunk. Two women named Mary Davis and Mary ...Vey, appa rently of the lower order, were placed at the bar, one of them having a child at her breast. On Mr. Dyer enquiring who gave the charge, a curious looking personage stepped forward, and with great trepidation addressed the following words to the Magistrate—" I am sorry, to come before you, but I am ashamed to say thatslsterday I was very drunk, for which I believe you cannot fine me now. If I had been brought before you, drunk to-day, you might have done so. I met with these two women, andlike a good-natured fool I treated them to drink, and showed my puree, which contained IA or 16 sovereigns.

PERSIAN MORALS."--I heard of a king's son, who was low in stature and ill-favoured, whilst all brothers Om tall and handsome. Once on a time, his fitther • looked at him with disgust, which the son bed saga city enough to discover, and said, " 0 &titer I a short man who is wise, is preferable to him who is tall and ignorant. Not every thing is valued according to its height ; the sheep is clean, and the elephant an un clean animal. Sinai is one of the most Inconsiderable mountains of the earth, but verily it is the greatest be ' fore God in rank and dignity. Have you heard what was said one day by a wise lean man to a fat block head ? One Arab horse, though lean, is preferable to a stable full of fat asses.' " The father laughed, the courtiers applauded, and the brothers were mortified to the very soul. Until a man bath spoken, his de , feets and his skill are concealed. imagine not every desert to be empty, for perhaps a tiger may be asleep there.—Front the Persian of Surly. SPORTING INTELLIGfNCE.
